Lecture # 9
“Understanding Referred Pain in the Orofacial Structures.”
(59 minutes) (2005)
Each clinician must be able to understand where the patient’s
pain originates before a proper diagnosis and treatment can be
selected. In this presentation, Dr. Okeson reviews why this
may not always be an easy task. In some instances, the
location the patient reports the pain is not the same area that
needs to be treated. Dr Okeson presents the mechanisms of
pain referral in a clinical manner that assists in appreciating this
most important concept. Four simple clinical rules are
presented that will help the clinician differentiate a true source
of pain from a site of pain. Understanding these concepts is
fundamental in managing any and all pain felt in the face. If you
treat orofacial pain, this presentation is an absolute must.
